Island Ecumenical Concerts is thrilled to present a special concert by The Royal Garden Trio!  Formed in 2001, RGT continues to delight audiences of all ages with their unique brand of Traditional Jazz conveyed with non-traditional instrumentation.  RGT blends the Parisian Café with the American Night Club, fresh without being exotic.
Tom Bogardus was born and raised in Grand Rapids, MI. By high school, he was playing clarinet, saxophone, guitar and banjo. Tom is the “guts and glue” of the Royal Garden Trio, contributing a rock-solid swinging tenor rhythm guitar as well as hot clarinet choruses whenever he picks it up. He is also the arranger for the group.

Brian Delaney was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan and studied classical piano at an early age. At age 12, he took up guitar and has been playing ever since. In 2001 Brian asked Mike Karoub and Tom Bogardus to join him in the Royal Garden Trio, with the idea of presenting American swing music within a small group format

Mike Karoub was born in Dearborn, Michigan and began playing cello at age 8. Mike took up string bass in 7th grade and began playing professional engagements on both instruments shortly thereafter. He has appeared with James Dapogny’s Chicago jazz Band, Banu Gibson’s New Orleans Hot Jazz, recording several albums, with appearances at the Smithsonian, the the St. Louis and Atlanta Symphonies and several Detroit area. Mike is the featured soloist in the Royal Garden Trio.
